Hej lemmings!

Quick question for you all: do you stick with the same distro across your PC, laptop, and server, or do you pick different ones based on the device and what you're doing?

For me, I've been mixing and matching depending on the use case, but I'm starting to think it'd be nice to just have one distro (or at least one family like Fedora or Debian) running everywhere. That way I wouldn't get confused about default settings or constantly have to look up flags for different package managers.

Right now my setup is:

Gaming rig: CachyOS

Laptop: AuroraOS

NAS: Unraid

Various project servers: DietPi, Debian, Alpine etc..

I feel like NixOS might be the only distro that could realistically handle all these use cases, but I'm a bit scared of the learning curve and the maintenance work it'd take to migrate everything over.

Am I the only one who feels like having "one distro to rule them all" would be nice? How do you guys handle your setups? All ears! 😊

I was at one point, was really into KDE Neon for a while and used it everywhere. Then shifted when they released a new distro away from Neon.

But now I use Debian on my two servers and looking at DietPi for my Raspberry Pi and use Linux Mint Cinnamon for my gaming PC. With the Nvidia RTX GPU I have, I had nothing but issues on any distro that used Wayland so I felt forced into this and been here since with no issues so I will be here for some time.
